Chapter 106: 106 Selling Embroidery Products

Translator: 549690339

A woman in her thirties with an ordinary appearance saw Xiao Yuchuan and said, “Chuan, you’re here. Do you have any embroidered items to sell?”

In the past, Xiao Yuchuan hardly did any embroidery, but he would sometimes collect embroidery items sold cheaply by girls and old women in the village and sell them at a profit of a few cents in the streets and alleys.

Occasionally, the villagers would also come to town, and they all knew the selling price of embroidered items there. Only those who didn’t want to go through the trouble would sell their items for one or two cents cheaper. In general, they would prefer to sell their items in town themselves when the time came.

Yuchuan bought embroidery threads and other small goods at this shop and was very familiar with the shopkeeper lady. He took a stack of handkerchiefs out of the cloth pocket he was carrying, “Lady Li, take a look, how much are these six embroidered handkerchiefs worth?” He wanted to collect more silver to buy new clothes for his wife, otherwise, he would rather sell them one by one slowly while selling his goods.

The shopkeeper lady, called Lady Li, picked them up and looked at them one by one, “Oh, Chuan, your handiwork is really good, much more delicate than ordinary handkerchiefs. Did you embroider them all yourself?”

Xiao Yuchuan nodded shyly.

“Look at you blushing; it’s not like there aren’t any men who do embroidery work.” Lady Li inspected the embroidery and said, “Alright, I’ll buy these handkerchiefs at nine cents each. How about that?”

“Okay.” Yuchuan knew that although Lady Li’s shop was out of the way, her prices were fair, and she needed to make money when reselling, “Lady Li, I want to buy two sets of clothes for my wife. Do you have anything suitable?” “Is she your wife?” Lady Li glanced at Su Qingyue who had come with them.

Qingyue only stood at the door, thinking it was none of her business, so she didn’t come over.

“Yes.” Xiao Yuchuan chuckled and pointed at Su Qingyue and Xiao Yishan, “This is my wife, and this is my second brother. ”

Lady Li looked at Yishan’s height and said, “Second Brother Xiao, you’re as sturdy as a mountain. When you walked into my shop, it felt too narrow for you.”

With a serious face and no emotions, Xiao Yishan didn’t react to being teased by the shopkeeper lady.

Finding it to be no fun, Lady Li took another good look at Su Qingyue, “Chuan, your wife has quite a notorious name, the first ugliest wife in ten miles, and she even stole steamed buns from Liu Er’s booth in town for three days straight, got caught and beaten…”

Seeing the faces of the Xiao brothers darken simultaneously, she stopped talking and changed the subject, “I’m just speaking out of concern for an old acquaintance. It doesn’t matter if your wife is ugly, what’s important is that she behaves herself. She looks so young, only twelve or thirteen, right? As a husband, you should educate her well, and maybe she’ll change.”

Xiao Yuchuan said, “My wife is fifteen.”

“She’s fifteen already? I can’t tell.” Lady Li kept looking at Su Qingyue’s thin body, “She’s too skinny. I’m afraid it might not be good for her to have children. Chuan, you have to let your wife rest and recuperate when you get home.”

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t mind that Lady Li didn’t suggest selling his wife like other people did, “I know. Lady Li, I want to buy two sets of clothes for my wife. How much are the clothes in your shop?”

Lady Li pointed to a few adult women’s clothes hanging on one wall, “The finished products are all there. The three sets on the left are one tael of silver each..
